Robert Randolph and the Family Band is a multicultural American funk and soul band led by pedal steel guitarist Robert Randolph. The following quote comes from a WNYC Gig Alert.
The New Jersey funk and soul jam band Robert Randolph and the Family Band draws on secular and African-American musical traditions from the past century in its eclectic fusion of gospel, blues, and funk.
Robert Randolph is an ideal frontman for the band: He is a virtuoso on the upright steel pedal guitar - which is the primary element in the African-American religious music known as "sacred steel".
